How Instant Bank Transfer works
Choose Instant Bank Transfer in the cashier
Pick your bank from the list. All the main UK banks and most app-only banks are supported.
Approve in your banking app
Your phone hands over to your bank, you confirm with Face ID, and you are sent back.
Withdraw the same way
The operator pays out over Faster Payments to the account you deposited from. It usually arrives before you have put the phone down.
What slows a withdrawal down
- Verification. The operator must confirm your identity and age. Have photo ID and a recent proof of address ready, and upload them when asked.
- Source of funds checks. Larger or unusual activity can trigger a request for a payslip or bank statement. This is a legal duty, not a stalling tactic.
- Name mismatch. The payment method has to be in your own name.
- Closed-loop rules. Money generally goes back to the method it came from.
- Bank cut-offs. Card refunds follow bank processing days, so a Friday night request can land on Monday.
Withdrawal questions
Why is my Midnite withdrawal pending?
The usual reasons are an unfinished identity check, a withdrawal to a different method from the one you deposited with, or a request made before a bet has settled. Check Account for any document request first.
Is there a fee for withdrawing?
Midnite does not normally charge for deposits or withdrawals. Your bank or PayPal may apply its own charges in rare cases, such as currency conversion.
Can I use a credit card?
No. Credit cards have been banned for gambling in Great Britain since April 2020, including through e-wallets. Use a debit card or bank transfer.
Can I cancel a withdrawal?
UK operators are not allowed to offer reverse withdrawals. Once requested, the money is on its way to you.
